Confessed teen killer Zachary Witman could be released from prison as soon as January 2019.

Three other of York County's so-called juvenile lifers were resentenced and paroled last year.

The resentencings were necessary after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that mandatory life without parole for killers under 18 at the time of their crimes was unconstitutional.

Witman will have served more than 14 years in prison when he comes up for parole. He will be 35.

Two men both served more than 42 years before they were paroled. One was 59 and the other was 60. A third served 30 years and was paroled at age 44.

The difference between Witman's case and their cases is that Witman was granted a new trial because his trial attorney was deemed ineffective.

Instead of being resentenced for first-degree murder, Witman got the opportunity to negotiate his first-degree murder charge down to third-degree and a lesser sentence.

The others had no grounds to argue for a new trial, and their first- or second-degree murder convictions stood.

The remaining teen lifers who have been resentenced will be between 44 and 70 when they have their first chance at parole. They will have spent between 30 to 55 years of their lives behind bars by then.

Following their breakup, Hagens went to Griffin’s home on North State Street near Olive Street in York. Griffin had warned that he’d shoot her if she showed up. According to police reports, she replied, “Go ahead if it will make you happy.”

Markle entered Eddie’s Food Market on West Philadelphia Street near West Clarke Avenue with a shotgun hidden in a box. He robbed the store of more than $100 and killed Klinedinst, a customer who walked in on the robbery.

Batty and Donald Riviera, 18, forced Bradford, who was going to a corner grocery store to buy milk for her 2-year-old daughter, into a vacant home on Locust Street in York. She was gang-raped over a matter of hours by an unknown number of men. Batty and Riviera then killed her to prevent her from identifying them to police, put a mattress over her body and set it on fire.

Method of murder: Stabbing

Lehman was one of four people -- three juveniles and 25-year-old Cornell Mitchell -- convicted of first-degree murder. He helped the others gain entrance to the home and acted as a lookout, not participating in the actual stabbing.
